Duality in Life expresses as personal Karma

From last article, we could follow how many times we are so entrenched with mental concepts which do not fit the reality of Life. In BK terms, the “Drama” cannot be fully explained through words.

Let me go a bit deeper. A person expresses through actions. Those actions are the moving blocks of the Drama or Life. Whether we DO or we don’t DO, still things get DONE. I am not talking about things in our little corporation or cubicle, not even governments and their manipulation of “realities” which is very limited. Human rules are for human societies, but that “Matrix” is a small part of Life, the Drama. Let me illustrate: Through laws a president could be ousted from power. That is within the realm of human laws. However, we cannot foresee the consequences of that. “The people” may revolt without consequences, while very few may revolt and there could be large consequences: Killing, accidents, etc. Immediately we look for a “responsible” party to punish them for “their” actions, and we believe that justice has arrived. We condemn them and repudiate those activities; then we forget the incident until something similar happens again, for “history repeats itself.”

Those powers of action and reaction when looked at the personal level are known as karma. Those who died in the example above, had a Life which karmically needed to end in genocide, that was the type of experience that they needed to experience. Probably these individuals were involved in something which ended up in death of others in another Life experience.

We label experiences as desirable if they fit our convenience, our ideals or undesirable if we feel against them. We keep on labeling things: Good, bad, sinful or virtuous but in the Drama, those scenes are merely experiences, after all; aren’t we “eternal” beings? What is the “worse” that could happen to you? This belief, however firm; does not fit the reality of our consciousness.

Life uses activities to move forward into another experience which could bring further suffering to the collective consciousness but necessary for their experience. The “ups and downs” in Life are necessary as they are. Those “ups and downs” express duality.

Since we are “here,” we experience that duality as agents of change whether we realize that or not. Therefore, our little debates over “free will vs. predestination” amount to nothing. We are unable to observe all ramifications and scenes in Life; the different threads of actions meshed together giving the experience of duality.

That is why, a “detached observer” is needed to live harmoniously within that duality but that cannot happen while our consciousness of “i” is very strong. A detached observer experiences the insubstantiality of that “i,” thus there is no concrete, stable “i” DOING something, but he is aware that things get done through “him” as he is part of the Drama, Life and there is a higher ultimate theme which needs to be performed.

Some may believe that Avyakt7-NG is a “good” writer of spiritual knowledge because they can understand what I convey. Some may disapprove by thinking that he only copies stuff from some Asian philosophy. If there is a writer, there is a reader (duality.) Those agreeing or disagreeing are meshed together with me in this experience. “Your” karma may be to understand these things which may have value in your Life, which others do not give a lonely peanut. However; through duality, if those accolades affected me and my ego was inflated, then necessarily I will need to experience the opposite, which may cause suffering. However, if fame and defamation are accepted but there is no ego to be affected positively or negatively by that duality, then the Observer becomes detached although allowing people to act their parts. Rejection of another person’s part, will bring further repetition of the same experience. That is why, “history repeats itself.”

Honesty is the key

After all, philosophies describing the “truth” are mere past time. We could spend our time fitting our behavior to follow a philosophy but there will not be honest change within.

There could be a beautiful behavior from someone, something impresses us and we want to act in the same way. That action came from a saint, an angel, etc. That same action if it is done by us just to copy the behavior, becomes false; the work of a con artist.

Actions by themselves, do not make a great man. But a great man makes great actions automatically. Until we do not realize that, honesty will not be known by us.

Of what good is to know that we are souls, who God is, and what will be the future, if we keep on using others for our own interest? Peddling in ideas to fill our empty egos with some certainty.

That is the predestined Drama.

Inner Honesty is the way out from that closed door.

Predestination supports the “Drama,” which bears omnipresence.

The article before mentioned: “The 3 acts of God are Brahman.”
Creation, Sustenance and Destruction are “what is” in the Universe. Isn’t that the “Drama” as well? Yes, of course.
Brahman is omnipresence.

In the world of duality there are two aspects which are truly one, for one brings the other as continuity of the same phenomena. However, in the world of perceptions, those are 2 separate, distinct things.

Nevertheless; “We” are identities, persons, souls, bodies, whatever name we want to put there to denote separation between one person and the next… and
There is oneness, omnipresence, ubiquity at the same time.
Observe that the typical conditioned mind, will not be able to easily grasp the above. For that “logical” mind, we are either “A or B.” We cannot be “A and B.”

In Brahma Kumaris as other monotheistic beliefs, their “reality” is that we are “A” only, (soul) not even considers “B.” That “reality” denies the existence of any other perceptions or consciousness. That perception, however; is inaccurate.
The shift for a potential believer is to label “A” as a “soul” rather than his previous label “B,” “body” and adopt all the definitions behind that new concept.
That change for most is only intellectual. It is about changing labels and denying what the previous label implied.

That is why, it has been extremely hard for most BK followers, to understand predestination, even though it is an important part of the BK philosophy.
That is “A” (soul) has to have “free will” which is not what predestination implies. That mental conflict is seldom understood.

“First I try, and then if it doesn’t happen, then that is the Drama.”
Very infantile defense of that “I.”

“Omnipresence is poison;” a Sakar Murli mentioned, (along those descriptive words if I recall.) Obviously, the defense of the “I” implies a complete denial of omnipresence, for otherwise; how is a follower going to feel guilty then? How is he going to “make effort”? How is it possible for that “I” to “make its fortune”?
Not possible. The “I” must survive to push the follower into different behaviors.
Nevertheless; as mentioned before, the ACTION to “make my fortune” is trivial in the unlimited; when what truly matters is my INTENTION coming from honest BEING.
That intention cannot be faked to ourselves and Life. It can be faked to others and that is its “success,” for that brings approval.

A movie is playing. We don’t know what is going to happen although, what will happen couldn’t happen any other way for that is the way it happened before, thus; what happens is “right,” not according to some prefabricated “good morality,” but according to Life, to the Drama itself.
That is what we may need to take out of that philosophy of predestination.

The “Drama” is everything there is. We are in it. We are part of it. Our minds, our consciousness, separates from “it,” and that is what creates the perception of our world as it is now.
It is perfect. It is what it needs to be at this time.
However, there are those who are genuinely able to perceive that the duality of “A and B” go together, embracing each other.
How can we die when we ARE everything? But yet, we DO, infinite times… just to BE again: Creation, Sustenance, Destruction. Brahman. Omnipresence.

If everything is fixed. Who is there to “try”? Response to “Rosem”

“Rosem”, thank you for your reply in the comments section.

I respect your beliefs and I am not here to take away your right to believe in what you feel is “true.”

Nevertheless, Brahma Kumaris knowledge could be taken in different ways according to our consciousness and “spiritual experiences.” Thus, the literal way to take gyan according to some “BK nimit” (instrument) may bring comfort and security of “knowing” something to followers; but ultimately it may bring heavy misunderstanding as we go deeper, which is evidenced as time goes by, for consciousness of different individuals will awaken to different realities.

Let me show you an example in your own writing (in red): At the end you write: “In other words Drama is another word for Karma.”

Many BKs will not understand that, for they have been taught that Karma is what happens to “you” (the “I”) and Drama is what happens outside “you” (outside the “I”).

BK teachings as far as I remember taught Karma in one of the first lessons and Drama right along with the cycle of time in a lesson of its own. The PERCEPTION is that those are different subjects. However, you mention those two words (karma and drama) to be interchangeable.

Now, let me go a notch further: Isn’t karma the same as the “role” which the container, the “soul”, expresses through a body?

Yes, they are. Karma is the role at the end of the day.  The question goes like this: Who is that Karma /role affecting to? Answer: The “I.”

Then, we go a step further: “Am “I” the role/karma/Drama?”

That is where BK “theory” starts weakening. Some will say: “ I am not the role, I am a soul.” They bring the word “soul” to mentally get out of that “I” but without losing  the beloved perception of “individuality”. However, in reality their behavior and consciousness does not follow that “understanding.” In “reality” they are a role. Their consciousness is stuck in the role. Other BKs are unable to perceive that  relationship and instead they deny the body. “I am a soul not a body” for their consciousness is physical.

However, Murlis will say: “Become soul conscious” and yet, most BKs will say “I am a soul”. There is a world of difference between those 2 statements. Different consciousness brings different understanding.

Then BapDada comes along and “tries” again in another way: “Become a detached observer.” Something which is expressed in the Avyakt Murlis and which is known outside the BK world as “witnessing”.

So where am I getting to? At the end is not to get stuck in “holy words” and concepts, but to EXPERIENCE that consciousness to understand beyond the mind, by using “gyan” (If you are a BK) as a road map. This is “churning knowledge.”

Once we go into “detached observer” we will need to understand/experience that which we call “I” and the experience of “no-I”. Then, “gyan” has a different meaning.

When you quote: “Those who have done the most devotion are the ones who will go fast in knowledge and they will also claim a high status.”—(Murli 26.07.2019) “

That quote should have another significance now.

Do we get stuck in just the words expressing ideas, concepts, memorize them and use them in writings just to be known as a “knowledgeable soul” by our peers, which is inconsequential, or do we go into the experience once we have looked at the depth of knowledge?

To know what is Drama and Karma is not the depth of Gyan. But to go into the experience of the “I” is, no matter what our belief system is, no matter what our religion professes, we still go back to the very basic.

In the world of duality if there is “I” there is “no-I”.

Here goes another “food for thought” based on your response:

“…THE PERCEIVER who has to be real, existent to make the very act of perceiving. “

The PERCEIVER and the perception are the same. It is explained here ( https://explore7.wordpress.com/2019/07/11/looking-at-self/ ) with the labels “observer” and the “object observed.”

The perceiver requires consciousness to perceive. That consciousness is not “his” but is given by the Drama (life itself). “Fixed by the Drama”. Which fixes what the perceiver (“I”) should perceive and fixes the perception that there is a perceiver (“I”) perceiving.

That is why the “Drama is a game.” Life is a game.

When BKs say “nimit” they mean that “Baba is the DOER, I am an instrument.”  Looking with depth now, we could see something different. BKs also like to say that “Baba is the director of the Drama”. Again, with depth, we can see different. Nevertheless, we may not want to hurt susceptibilities and ingrained beliefs. That is a challenge.

I would like to end this brief response to express one more time that I have respect for the Brahma Kumaris movement. It has been a “school” for me and for that reason, I respect the process of many BK brothers and sisters but at the same time, Avyakt7-NG fulfills his mission here, which is to share his experiences.

Some will find benefit, others will not. That is part of the game of duality.

All the best.

The cycle of time beyond BK conditioning.

A deep understanding (if at least intellectual) of the significance of the cycle of time will give us the answers which many different religions, philosophies and “isms” have presented during our history.

Cyclical time is not an exclusive belief of Brahma Kumaris, but in my humble opinion; there hasn’t been writings or “churnings” which I am aware of, considering the depth of it.

Let me present some items to consider using BK philosophy.
Have you heard in “New Age” the popular: “we are all ONE”? Probably we have heard several explanations to try to make sense of that one: “Brahman is Atma. Atma is Brahman” is one of them.
Everything which is included in the cycle of time is bound to belong to it, including “your” thoughts. Yes, we are all ONE.
A jigsaw puzzle has pieces. Every piece has meaning as part of the puzzle. However, the puzzle has meaning thanks to the picture over the pieces (typically landscapes.) That picture is the “Drama of Life” depicted by the movement of the world cycle. Every piece has a small chunk of the whole picture. A piece is nothing by itself; but only in relationship with other pieces to make something bigger than themselves.

Even the picture of the “3 Worlds” depicts a relationship between “Parandham”, the “Subtle Region” and the Physical World. The “world Drama” happens in the physical realm; but there is influence of the other two realms. There is a continuous interchange. What is the “purpose” of “Parandham” other than to supply “souls” to the physical world? At the same time, isn’t the purpose of the physical world to supply souls to Parandham? Isn’t the subtle region in a way, a reflection of the physical world?
Therefore, everything works in synchronicity and there is no one accounted for that feat. No need of a “creator”. It just happens.
The Universe is perfect, despite the popular saying that “Nothing is perfect”, we could now observe that nothing could be but perfect. For it IS as it has to BE.
“Perfection” is not a human ideal to reach. It already IS.

Therefore, Who are you?
Isn’t the “soul” merely an agent of destiny “equipped” for every journey, every Life, with particular experiences?
Where is your “free will” then?
That will probably hurt most “unprepared” egos. That is probably why we haven’t heard about the cycle of time with certain depth yet. It is easier to say: “ Baba says, it is a predestined Drama; but you can change things “now” (free will) because we don’t know what will happen.” A “shrewd intellect” could realize that we have to DO things, certainly; but we are driven to DO something based on circumstances, conditioning, etc. That unobserved drive we could call “free will”, the name is irrelevant; what is important to notice is consciousness behind an action; and consciousness does not depend on us. It happens.
Religions have pretended to go around this obvious observation, by creating an artificial moral system whereby a particular ACTION is labeled as “good” without care on consciousness. The output of such trap is that many followers will DO something labeled “right” although, they do not feel in the same direction.

Let me illustrate: According to BK knowledge, “sex is bad.” Don’t DO it. However, is that truly the way you feel? In other words, is your CONSCIOUSNESS according to that action? That is how repression arrives and many mental problems after that.

Now, let me go into the trap of “I”.

Who “I think I am” is merely that. It has no significance in Life but in our artificial society. Moreover, It has no significance if “I think that I am important, now or in the future.” It is all human day dreaming.

There is NO ONE in “you”. Nothing. Go to sleep at night. The mirage is gone. It happens every day of our life.
Alzheimer anyone? Who are “you” if you don’t remember? Others may remember “you”, but we are always changing. What “YOU,” do they remember then? That “soul” (Atma) is only a container. It is not “self.” As every BK knows, that container can have up to 84 lives (experiences in Life) all “recorded” already.  Again, “self” is not “soul.” “You”(self) will not go beyond this experience which we call Life. Please “churn” that. It is all coming from the understanding of the predestined world cycle.

Now, let us take a look at “Predestination.”
It merely means that the consciousness that we have is already set up, as we are part of the cycle of time; and it has to display different circumstances according to “time.”
“We” are merely agents of “time”. “Fabricating” changes which are already set up. Thus, the morality of “good and bad” is another human creation not supported by Life itself. Life is beyond “good and bad”. There will be consequences of “our” actions, yes; but we will be equipped to withstand those as well. That is known as “karma.”

What is this idea of “God” then? I will not go into that at this time, as I have offered enough to “churn about”. If you’d like to explore that, you may do it.

Don’t we feel trapped, like “puppets” moved by the puppeteer, the “Drama”? Do you feel unhappy?
That is because we do not understand a thing, yet.

Nothing is asked from “you”. Nothing to “do.” No purpose to reach. “You” are already FREE.
All you have to DO is ENJOY, APPRECIATE and SMILE. That is the “effort”.
Whatever you DO is meant to BE. Wherever you ARE is meant to BE.
Look how the conditioned mind wants you to “achieve,” to “make effort,” to “save yourself”. No time for enjoyment. Got to get busy… “Do service.”

As “I” am dying from “myself”, death becomes not only acceptable but liberating. Do you think “I” am afraid of “destruction just ahead”? Isn’t that only another picture of the jigsaw puzzle?

“I” am a soul. 🙂 How could you BE a soul (container) if “YOU” are not?
“Atman is Brahman”. That is more accurate but typically; misunderstood.

There you have something “new,” precious to churn about; thanks to the cycle of time. 🙂

Question on responsibility of sorrow of others.

“How much are we responsible for the sorrow of souls in connection with us? BKs believe that “we are not responsible for the unhappiness and sorrow of other people, it’s just their creation”. At the same time, others are also not responsible for our sorrow and unhappiness!! Can you PLEASE take this subject for one article in upcoming week.
My second question is a small and direct question, the path of BKism has no way to experience “No-Mind” and “No-I”?? Ego can’t be dissolved with Shivbaba?”

Thank you for your questions.
The word “responsible” is a word that we have learned in the “Office world.” We are responsible for educating our children, we are responsible for our actions in society, etc. But at the same time, we know about PREDESTINATION.
Then, who is responsible?

The “office world” does not know about PREDESTINATION. They just know about “free-will” thus, to be “responsible” exists there. It is interesting that BK borrows many words from the “Office world” which truly does not apply to PREDESTINATION. They may do it for the sake of understanding, which many times turns into misunderstanding. Something like: ” You have free will to DO something, but once it is DONE, it is the DRAMA… and that will repeat…”  

My direct answer is: Does it matter? You feel sorrow. Look at it. Acknowledge it. Embrace it. Learn from it. Do you feel that we are all ONE? Then what you DO to others, you DO it to yourself.
Perhaps, you do not feel that we are ONE. Then, try to take advantage of others. Learn from that experience. Your Life will be a lesson.
So, you are not AWARE enough to learn from your own Life… then “knowledge” comes to the rescue. Let me teach you about KARMA. You will be afraid of it. Your DOING will be restricted to your thought of DOING things “right” according to your understanding or the understanding of others. Acting this way appears to BE safe, although you ARE not the image of WISDOM but the image of cheap imitation as your ACTIONS (DOING) are carefully thought out. You are condemned to live in your head, with your ego telling you what to DO according to the understanding of the conditioning that you have received.

“Responsible”…. Let me smile at that word… 🙂 Responsible brings irresponsible.

Now on your second question. Observe how you have distorted what I said in the previous article. I wrote “No-mind” does not exist in the BK vocabulary.” And then you add “experience” and bring “ShivBaba” into the picture.
So you want me to tell you if ego cannot be dissolved throuhg ShivBaba?
Then I ask you: How do we know that what we experience is ShivBaba? Then, we go back to the repeated example in my last article.
“I am a soul.” “ShivBaba is my father.”  Repeat the mantra until it sinks in the mind. No experience.

Now, do you see why I repeat the same examples?
If I say: “I have not experienced that my ego gets reduced through yoga with ShivBaba” then others will say, that they have experienced that. Who is who to say when ego gets reduced when we are not aware when ego increases?
Direct answers such as “Yes” or No” are so deceiving, when you have not experienced something and you just want an answer for the sake of being “RIGHT.”

Spiritually is not about BEING “right or wrong.” So what is all about?
That… “You” will need to find out yourself.

For the common good.

The typical BK questions: Karma, Drama, Cycle of time.

Back from vacation! There will be some changes in this blog.
Avyakt7-NG will be writing an article once a week. Typically, on a Thursday. As time goes by, there will be further changes in the way Avyakt7-NG will share to BK or Ex-BK readers.

Avyakt7-NG encourages you to send your questions. Please make those questions to the point and hopefully, for the “common good” rather than personal issues.

Lakshmipriya sent her question(s) here:
In your first question: If “I” look honestly, If “I” suffer from a disease, no words or mental console could help me. The point is that there is no “reason” that could take “my” suffering away. Yes, “karma” is a “reason.” It could be true, but many times in our current life times we do not see the “why” we have to settle or “pay” for something that we do not even remember that “we did” in a past life. On the other hand, BK knowledge states that there is predestination. That means there was no way out. We had to go through that experience. Period.
Whatever it is happening, it IS. Deal with it, knowing that experiences have a duration and then, they will go away. This is not a belief. Enjoyment should be there out of any Life experience, for every experience never comes by itself, there is a thread of other experiences along with it, worth enjoying them.

Question #2: If you understand the Drama well, you will see that there is NOTHING that could be labeled as “bad,” or “good.” It is what it IS and for a limited time. 

Question#3: The word “actor” imply many things. An actor “knows” (has the experience) of being an actor. Most human beings do not. For most, we feel that it is “I.” That is our consciousness. Lakshmipriya: Your keywords are: “This understanding, helps me.” Avyakt7-NG shares that mental understanding does not change BEING. It only puts a façade to mentally “accept” the issue. However, that stage is necessary to go beyond the trap of the mind.

In one of Avyakt7’s trips to India as a BK, Avyakt7 went to Jodphur by himself.
It is a different “reality” there, than being sheltered in Madhuban. Avyakt7 remembers seeing a dog walking down the street. The dog was limping. The dog was very dirty and it seemed as it had many diseases. The dog most likely, did not have a home. No food waiting. However, the dog was living Life. There is no “idea” of committing “suicide.” That dog was free from the mind. There is no “reason” needed to comfort the “suffering” of the dog, for the dog does not have that duality in the mind. On the other hand, humans are looking for “reasons” which they call “knowledge.” Those are pacifiers for someone living in the mind.

The dog may “instinctively” KNOW that the “medicine is to go through the experience itself. Not to try to escape it. Light is at the end of that tunnel.”

Hope that answered your questions.
At the same time, this answers Christopher Joseph’s inquiry about “karma.”

Now, on the question by Dinesh here:
Ahnanda had the privilege to connect with his friend, Mathias while in Peru. Ahnanda shared with Mathias that Ahnanda’s sharing of “no-I” was misunderstood. Mathias responded that “ That [No-I] hurts them.” Also, he mentioned about “taking the pulse of others before sharing” without using those BK words.
Therefore: When we experience “no-I” there is no cycle of time.
When we experience “I” we are afraid of the cycle of time. When we “intellectually know” about the cycle of time and we believe it, while being only conscious of the “I,” there will be an inner war, an inner fight, a dissonance for the belief goes against our consciousness of “I have free will.”
Thus, knowing that what will you DO? 🙂

For the common good.

BEING does not change through intellectual understanding.

Gayathri wrote an article which she shared it here.
In this article, she expresses her understanding of the Drama, the soul and the predestined roles; explained in her unique ways supported by her own experiences.
I am appreciative of her sharing. It is a well written article.

However, her second article here is my favorite. Why?
It is “real.” Anyone could observe her words in our own selves. We have been conditioned to believe that “ I create my thoughts,” we go with that belief, even though, plain observation and awareness may convey otherwise. It requires “effort” to look without bias. She just shared a third article here, which is equally good.

However, after understanding intellectually all of those wonderful things; ARE we detached observers, or simply happy enjoying the movie of Life?
No?
Then of what good is that ”understanding”?

If we suffer a disease, we should be happy. Right? Didn’t Baba tell us to be happy by paying happily our “debts,” our karmic accounts?

In a nutshell: What we DO is to fake what we truly feel. To add a few more days of fake intellectual happiness until the mind gets “needy” again. Then, it needs another fix of beliefs.

Brahma Kumaris is the path of the mind (Raja Yoga.)
Baba is giving “reasons,” “truths,” “explanations,” and even “churnings” of intelligent children with “good intellects” to satisfy the hunger of “knowledge” of the children.
He is giving all of that because the “children” are trapped in their own minds.

We are conditioned to believe in something. We are conditioned to believe that when we know the “truth,” that will save us, that will make us “special.”
But we can only go as far as our conditioning permits.

For instance, we “know” the Drama is predestined, but yet we believe that there is good and bad, right or wrong. We label people, situations, circumstances, accordingly.
If the Drama is predestined how is it possible to label something as “bad”? It was necessary. “Beneficial.” Thus, Is a low status “bad”? Is the Iron age “bad”? 
“Churn” about it. But if you ARE invested in a belief system, you cannot explore. You are limited by your conditioning.

The mind creates the “I.”
The “I” creates predestination and free will. Those words and their meaning only exist in the mind, not in Life.
Are we “actors”? An actor is aware of being an actor by learning a script. We are not aware of being actors. We don’t learn scripts. We believe that we make them. We feel that what is happening is “real.” We feel that it is not a play. Then why lie to ourselves?

To calm the mind and get out of our sorrow temporarily.
We are looking for a way to escape our sorrow and disappointments in Life.

We are willing to make this Life a martyrdom so in the “afterlife,” we could be someone “special.” That is how desperate we are.

The medicine is to go through the experience itself. Not to try to escape it. Light is at the end of that tunnel. We need to walk to the other side. We may be afraid, we may be attached to our current situation, we may value the safety of the known (even though suffering) greater than the unknown.

A Sakar Murli has said that “courage” is the predominant quality of a Deity soul.
Be courageous. Everything and anything is bound to start and to finish. That is our experience. No need to add beliefs or intellectual theories.
Courage is the quality which allows a person to BE despite the different types of weather. Life is that weather. The weather is seasonal. That is our experience. No beliefs are necessary.

By covering our mind with beliefs and intellectual realizations, we may calm the mind; but never BEING.
Whether we believe to be a soul, a spirit or a body is of no consequence.

Enjoy the experience of living. The contrasts, the surprises, the challenges, etc. Whether it repeats eternally or not, is of no consequence at all. What matters is “Now.”
“Now” is the only time when we can experience and enjoy Life. As mentioned before: Enjoyment and appreciation are “good” karma for all.

For the common good.

Until November 30th! 🙂

Question: Why the Drama is the way it is?

Thank you for your question.
Answer: Because it cannot be any other way.
Although your question may be intellectually sound, it does not make any sense beyond the limited intellectual realm. It is an “unreal” question. 🙂

I should ask: Which way is the Drama for you? You may explain in several lines what is your experience of what the Drama IS.
However, that is not what the Drama IS. It is just your experience. It may be the experience of many; yet is only an experience. Thus, you may want to rephrase your question into: Why is my experience of the Drama, the way it is?
And for that question, I could answer: If you don’t know; who may? It is at that point when reasoning no longer works and unreasonably, we still want to hear an answer. That is how God enters the picture, the saint, the guru, the expert, the scientist or whoever you believe in as the ultimate authority.

Think of the Drama as a jigsaw puzzle. What is the purpose of it? That depends on you.
The jigsaw puzzle has pieces. If they are all together; then the purpose is to disperse them. But, if they are all dispersed; then the purpose is to put them together in certain order. Unless your purpose is just to watch the pieces: Then you can have the purpose to despise them or admire them, or something in between. Different experiences bring different perceptions according to your state of consciousness. See?

The “real” question is: “Why am I the way I am?”
To answer that question means that you are looking, observing, being AWARE of that which we call “I.” As the “I” changes, so your perception; therefore; the Drama will be different under that particular consciousness.

We cannot explain with limited words what is unlimited. But since you are asking intellectual questions, let me try to answer that intellectually:

What IS has to have an opposite to BE. Without an opposite it cannot BE.
That opposite is truly a complementary; for what IS, is ONE; but by BEING two different things, we can intellectually grasp what is not truly two but one.
The Drama is ONE. If your mind perceives something different than what IS, then change your mind into no-mind.
In no-mind, YOU ARE NOT, so the DRAMA IS NOT, even though it IS.

Thus, why the Drama is the way it is? Because YOU ARE.

Do you see how deceptive that WHY could be? The above sounds non-sensical, but that is as close as I can get through a verbal explanation, to answer your question.
Even if you could intellectually understand what I just wrote, that will not change a bit what YOU ARE.

If you ARE something, embrace your opposite, for otherwise; you cannot know who you truly ARE. Thus, if you think you ARE something; you truly don’t know who you ARE.

The DRAMA is not, when YOU ARE NOT.
Then, at that point; what IS?
Nothing and everything. Makes sense? 🙂

For the common good.

Question: Significance of the Drama, Peace and Happiness – Sakar Murli.

Can you elaborate on this?

“By understanding the significance of which aspect do you children not ask for peace or happiness?
Answer:
You understand the significance of the drama. You understand that the play is now about to end. You will first return to the land of peace and then go to the land of happiness. This is why you do not ask for peace or happiness. You stabilise yourselves in your original religion of peace. People do not even know about the religion of the self nor do they understand the significance of the drama. This is why they say, “Give peace to my mind!” In fact, it is the soul that needs peace, not the mind.”

Thank you for your question.
To understand Brahma Kumaris’ purpose is to understand first, our own minds.
Brahma Kumaris is about intellectual understanding. Nevertheless, that intellectual understanding is unable to make a change in consciousness.
Yes, we can understand the significance of the Drama. It is eternally repetitive. Thus, for the mind the incentive is in the “future.” “Over there “I” will be happy and peaceful. Right now, “I” have to make effort.” 

The gist of any Sakar Murli is to make us “understand” that “right now”  does not matter, for the reward is coming up in the “future,” in my “next life.”
That is the “reality” of the mind which likes to fantasize with the future and the past, but it is hardly the reality of BEING.

Observe the language: “religion of the self.” There is no such a thing. Many things get lost in translation of the original Sakar Murlis. It all depends on the choice of words of the one(s) translating and more important, his practical experience.
Thus, I can say without hesitation that the original teachings of Brahma Baba have been changed to portray followers understanding instead. This is the reason why we may need to go into our own experience and our own feeling rather than blindly following paragraphs of beliefs.

Peace is not of the soul nor the mind. Peace is a state of BEING.
That is related with consciousness not with the container of roles, the soul.
The “land of peace” is truly the “land of emptiness.” The soul is empty of content, thus; that state could be labeled as peace. But it is not practical peace, it is not to BE peace in the world.

Our minds are full of things. There cannot be peace there, for the mind overrides the emptiness of BEING. That is why in Brahma Kumaris it is emphasized to keep the mind busy with “remembrance.” It is thought that “I” can control the mind if “I” give a recurrent thought to it and make it stronger, if “I” add a feeling. 

The state of “no-mind” is not known; however, that is the practical experience to be in the “present,” the “now.”

Therefore, to know about the significance of the Drama will do very little for our consciousness. If there is something “bad” happening in our lives, we will be shaken no matter how much we understand the Drama.
True understanding is not of the mind, it is about consciousness.
Interestingly, I do not recall if ever that word (consciousness) has been used in a Sakar Murli. Probably the word “soul” is used instead; thus the confusion for the follower.
What confusion?

“I am a peaceful soul, but I am not that now. I need that peace, it will come in the “future.” Or, I need to take away the “rust” to be peaceful.” But Peace is not an intellectual idea that I can imbibe by repeating “I am a peaceful soul” or by knowing the significance of the Drama.
Have we experienced that?

For the common good.
